Transforming idle computing power into a global distributed supercomputer. Permissionless, resilient, and open for everyone.
Explore the NetworkTo democratize access to computing power by creating a global, open-source, and censorship-resistant decentralized infrastructure.
Building a collaborative alternative to centralized cloud monopolies, where anyone with idle hardware can power a global supercomputer.
Strategic Focus
Launch of GPU Beta Tester program & initial AI workloads.
Introduction of Deposits and Marketplace protocol stability.
Scaling distributed AI inference and model fine-tuning.
Comprehensive API simplification and new SDK features.
Independent entity focused on long-term sustainability, ecosystem growth, and research into decentralized value exchange.
A continuous governance model where users set long-lasting preferences rather than one-off token votes.
Participatory financing platform for public goods, powered by staking rewards and community influence.
Native utility token used for all transactions. Requestors pay Providers in GLM for computational work completed.
The core service that implements the Golem protocol. It handles market matching, agreement signing, and resource execution.
Leverages Ethereum and Layer 2 solutions for secure, trustless payments and automated settlement.
A completely distributed network with no central authority, ensuring censorship resistance and high resiliency.
The primary infrastructure for communicating with the Golem Network and managing nodes.
High-level API for running distributed tasks across the network with minimal configuration.
Full-featured software development kits to integrate Golem into existing applications.
Seamless integration with Docker containers for secure and isolated task execution.
Advanced capabilities for providers to share high-performance GPU resources for AI/ML.
Real-time monitoring of GLM earnings and resource utilization statistics.
Decentralized ZK-proving platform integrated with Golem resources.
Distributed vanity address generator powered by thousands of Golem nodes.
The Requestor defines a task in a container. Golem's marketplace automatically matches them with Providers whose hardware meets the requirements. After execution, smart contracts handle the GLM transfer securely.

Golem offers a disruptive alternative to centralized cloud giants like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
| Feature | Golem Network | Traditional Cloud (AWS) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Market-driven (Up to 80% lower) | Corporate Pricing (High) |
| Control | Decentralized / P2P | Single Entity Controlled |
| Support | Community / Documentation | Professional SLAs |
| Latency | Variable (Best for Async) | Ultra-low / Guaranteed |
| Trust | Code-based / Tokenized | Legal / Contractual |
Uses Docker-based execution environments to ensure that provider hardware is safe from malicious code.
Built on open protocols. Users can switch between providers or leave the network without costly migrations.
Nodes are spread across every continent. There is no single point of failure that can take down the entire network.
Enterprise users are often bound by strict legal requirements and traditional accounting methods that conflict with crypto-payments.
Distributing tasks over residential internet connections introduces latency, making it unsuitable for real-time applications.
Setting up as a requestor still requires significant technical knowledge compared to one-click cloud solutions.
Golem is building the foundational layer for the next generation of the internet's infrastructure.
By turning computing power into a tradable commodity, Golem creates a more efficient, decentralized, and accessible future for developers and researchers alike. While challenges remain in mainstream adoption, the growth of AI and ZK-computing provides a fertile ground for the network's expansion.
